STEP 3

System Set-Up

After your needs are assessed and the physical space is set up, your Product Sales Representative will collaborate with Van Meter's operations and inside sales teams to make sure everything is set up in our system to facilitate efficient and accurate stocking and replenishing of your crib or storeroom.

This step includes:

Loading your product part numbers and min/max levels into the system

Creating a specific crib/storeroom "ship to"

Setting up and verifying purchasing processes (i.e. a blanket PO)

Placing an initial stocking order to round out your existing inventory

It is also critical that your Van Meter Product Sales Representative learn and understand your company requirements for building access, safety, etc. They will make themselves available to complete any required training on policies and practices. Please plan to provide security badges (as needed) and communicate your expectations prior to launch.

STEP 5

Execute | Launch

With products stocked and training complete, it is time to go live with your vendor-managed crib/storeroom inventory.

According to the established call plan and purchasing processes, your Van Meter Product Sales Representative will be on location to electronically scan, order and replenish products.

STEP 6

Maintain | Optimize

Van Meter's Product Sales Representative will monitor call/order frequency and adjust crib/storeroom inventory levels based on consumption activity. The objective is to fine-tune and optimize your inventory levels so you achieve the efficiencies and cost-savings you desire.
